A seemingly calm morning at the immigration courtroom in San Francisco was disrupted as ICE officers arrested asylum-seekers after their court hearings. While some individuals escaped without incident, a Colombian woman faced a dismissal motion from DHS that could expedite her removal. Judge O'Brien expressed concern over how these motions complicate courtroom proceedings, allowing the woman extra time to respond. O'Brien warned her of potential detention, which she acknowledged as he indicated that she may not return to court, highlighting the precarious situation for asylum-seekers.
O'Brien has noted that the motions to dismiss asylum cases complicate proceedings in court, stating it makes conducting business as usual in the courtroom 'difficult.'
Following a recent pattern, ICE has continued to arrest asylum-seekers immediately after they leave the courtroom, regardless of judges' decisions regarding their cases.
